Sarcasm is rather useful, although, bizarre statements have much more effect. Bizarre statements such as asking "So, did anyone hear that Kermit the Frog just got signed to the Redskins for 8 years @ 252 million as their new quarterback?". These tend to make people look at you oddly, thus breaking the tension that can sometimes occur in a serious discussion... (That or they'll just ignore you and write you off as a total looney.) --Kumba -- "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
